Petri Dishes, Polypropylene, Autoclavable & Reusable, High Quality
didn't see what you are looking for ?
Petri dishes supplied by LabChoice Australia provide a stable, contamination controlled platform for microbial culture, sample observation and general analytical work across teaching, research and industrial laboratories. Available in BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass or high clarity laboratory grade polymers, these dishes are engineered for reliable performance in microbiology, cell culture preparation, QC testing and materials analysis. Glass variants comply with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, ensuring high thermal resistance, chemical durability and repeat sterilisation stability. Plastic variants align with ISO 10993 biocompatibility frameworks, with Polystyrene (PS) versions reflecting ASTM D638 tensile performance characteristics and polypropylene (PP) versions following the material expectations outlined in ASTM D4101.
Glass Petri dishes offer exceptional clarity and strong resistance to thermal shock, making them suitable for autoclaving, dry heat sterilisation and repeated exposure to disinfectants. Their smooth, non porous surface supports uniform media spreading and easy cleaning to maintain sterility. Plastic Petri dishes provide lightweight, shatter resistant handling for high throughput microbiological workflows. Sterile PS dishes provide excellent optical clarity for colony counting, microscopy and imaging work, while PP dishes offer enhanced chemical resistance and autoclave compatibility for reusable workflows.
Petri dishes are widely used in microbiology culturing, contamination monitoring, antimicrobial testing, seed germination studies, crystallisation work and general observation tasks. Their precise lid to base fit ensures controlled gas exchange while preventing environmental contamination, supporting reproducible growth conditions for bacteria, fungi, yeasts and other microorganisms.
Every Petri dish supplied by LabChoice Australia undergoes ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes dimensional accuracy verification, surface finish assessment, clarity evaluation, sterility confirmation for PS models, and thermal stability checks for glass variants. Plastic dishes are additionally assessed for polymer uniformity, drop impact resistance and material behaviour in accordance with ASTM D638 or ASTM D4101 depending on polymer grade. These rigorous quality measures ensure consistent, safe and reliable performance for laboratories requiring dependable cultureware for analytical and biological workflows.
